An economically fragile country caught up in Russia’s hybrid war, Moldova is keen to make rapid progress for a quicker membership to the European Union. With the opening of the first chapter of accession negotiations, the EU launched its €1.9 billion investment plan in the country. With this plan, which is conditional on domestic structural reforms, Europe hopes to draw in businesses and drive change in the country.
To attract businesses and capital flows in the country, the European Commission and the Moldovan government organised the first major investment conference in Chisinau on June 4, 2026. An essential driver to help the country’s economy take off and meet European standards. With a pledged amount of €641 million, the investments and projects will support strategic sectors, notably energy, digital infrastructure, education and sustainable agriculture.
